Trainz 22: LSWR 10T Brake Vans

The LSWR 10T Brake Vans pack was developed by Pilotwoo and published by N3V Games. It was released on 2 December 2025 as downloadable content for Trainz 2022, and ownership of the main game is required to use the DLC. The pack is available on PC, supporting both Windows and macOS like the base game.

This DLC adds historic British brake vans: the classic 10‑ton “Road Vans” originally built for the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) starting in 1886. These vans were designed with side doors to carry parcels and freight as well as serve as guard vans. Over time, additional vans entered service under successor rail companies, including Southern Railway and, in some cases, the Great Western Railway, eventually serving under British Rail — some even receiving vacuum‑brake equipment during their later years. The pack gives players access to eight different liveries covering this history. Each wagon includes three levels of weathering, animated couplings, interiors, and working tail lamps, allowing historically immersive operations.

At the time of release there are no user reviews yet due to the recency of the pack. Early community feedback from forums and Trainz‑related groups is cautiously positive. Enthusiasts of British railway history appreciate the inclusion of a classic brake‑van type that reflects 19th‑ and early 20th‑century freight operations, welcoming the opportunity to run historically styled consists rather than modern stock. Many players note that the variety of liveries and weathering states adds realism valued by simulation rail fans. However, some point out that until more community scenarios or historically accurate freight consists appear, usage may remain niche, appealing mostly to those interested in heritage British rail operations.

Overall, the LSWR 10T Brake Vans DLC is a well‑considered addition for fans of historic British railway rolling stock. Its focus on authenticity and faithful modeling gives it strong potential, especially among players who enjoy recreating traditional freight and parcel services rather than modern or international operations.
